At the same time.
Young Master Qin Chengjiao's residence.
"What is it? You said Ye Yuan is missing?"
Qin Chengjiao jumped up from his seat and looked at Bai Yitu in disbelief.
"Yes, Young Master. Ye Yuan was kidnapped on his way back to Taiyi Palace, and it was unknown if he was still alive.”
Bai Yitu also smiled bitterly.
When he first heard the news, he was also very surprised.
" How did this happen?!"
Qin Chengjiao slumped on the chair weakly.
"That's right! This matter is too unexpected."
Bai Yitu sighed helplessly.
"Right, Yitu, how did they know that Ye Yuan was kidnapped and not killed?”
"Young Master, I heard the news. On the way back to Taiyi Palace, someone discovered Ye Yuan's personal saber, but did not find Ye Yuan's people. That was why they suspected that something had happened to Ye Yuan.”
"Later, this matter alarmed the higher-ups of Taiyi Palace. Taiyi Palace immediately dispatched several deacons to investigate and even alerted an elder.”
"However, after a thorough investigation, no one found Ye Yuan's body. There wasn't even any blood or limbs, so everyone suspected that Ye Yuan had been kidnapped. They disappeared at the same time. And Ye Yuan's eldest disciple, Chen Xuan."
After hearing this, Qin Chengjiao sneered and said,""It rained so heavily last night. Even if there were bloodstains, they would have been washed away by the rain. As long as the corpse was hidden well, it would naturally create the illusion that there was no blood or corpse, so the kidnapping was not credible. Perhaps Ye Yuan had already been killed.”
Bai Yitu shook his head. However, it was said that in order to find Ye Yuan's whereabouts, Taiyi Palace had even invited Elder Wu's spirit dog.”
"Rumor has it that the spirit dog is the descendant of the ancient Divine Beast Calamity Dou. As long as it sniffs the clothes of the victim before he died and then asks it to search for the victim's corpse, it can find it even if it's within a hundred miles or a thousand meters underground.”
"This time, the spirit dog searched for half a day but didn't find anything. That's why everyone thought that Ye Yuan was kidnapped and not killed.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Chengjiao was shocked.
After a long while, he sighed and said,"I didn't expect things to be so complicated!" One had to know that it was even more difficult to abduct an expert at the peak of the tenth rank than to kill him. It seemed that the person who attacked had at least the strength of the perfected tenth level.”
"This subordinate also thinks so!"
"Yitu, don't you think this is very strange?" Qin Chengjiao suddenly frowned. We had just sent a message to call Ye Yuan back when he disappeared. Could Qin Zheng be behind this?”
"Young Master! Impossible! The Ninth Young Master did not have any Tenth Level Perfection experts under him, so it was simply impossible for him to do it. Not to mention the Ninth Young Master himself, even the Ninth Young Master's mother, Lady Zhao, did not have such a powerful expert by her side.”
"Sigh! That's true! It seems like I was being paranoid!"
Qin Chengjiao sighed unwillingly.
"Young master, we can't count on Ye Yuan now. Should we withdraw the spies outside the ninth young master's villa?”
"This…don't withdraw it yet. Continue to monitor. By the way, is Elder Wu's spirit dog that you mentioned really that magical?”
"Young master, that spirit dog is very supernatural, it is not an ordinary wild beast, it is a desolate beast.”
Qin Chengjiao's eyes lit up." So it's a desolate beast. No wonder it's so capable. Then it's not strange." However, it was rumored that desolate beasts were extremely rare and precious. Even the high and mighty Connate experts would fight to the death to get a desolate beast as a spiritual pet. He didn't expect Elder Wu to have one.”
At this point, Qin Chengjiao's face revealed extreme envy.
Then, he whispered,"Yitu, do you still remember our analysis?" Ye Qingfeng's disappearance was either because he didn't go to Qin Zheng's place or there was another reason. Either his corpse was still hidden in Qin Zheng's estate. Say, if I borrow a spirit dog from Elder Wu…"
"Young Master, what do you mean?”
Qin Chengjiao seemed to think that his idea was great.
"I've always felt that there's something wrong with Qin Zheng." However, that guy is harder to deal with than I thought. But if he really has a problem, this young master only needs to borrow a spirit dog and put it in his garden to test it out. Haha!"
Bai Yitu was also overjoyed. Young Master, you're still better than me!"
………
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
The next morning.
In the study room of Wave Listening Garden.
Qin Zheng is sitting behind the desk, holding a letter in his hand, reading it seriously.
Zhao Gao stood respectfully in front of the desk, and there was a hidden joy in his eyes.
A moment later, Qin Zheng put down the letter and smiled."Eunuch Zhao, is there any new news regarding Ye Yuan?”
"Young Master, this matter has already caused a commotion among the higher-ups of Taiyi Palace. They have sent another elder to search, but they still haven't found any traces of Ye Yuan. Young Master, it seems like our crisis has been resolved. You are really a prophet, this servant is really impressed!”
"There's no need to pay too much attention to Ye Yuan's matter." However, Ye Qingfeng's matter had not been completely resolved.”
"Young Master, will there be more trouble?" Zhao Gao was slightly stunned.”
"No matter what, Ye Qingfeng is a true disciple of Taiyi Palace. His status is extraordinary." Qin Zheng nodded slightly. A true disciple disappearing for three to five days would not attract too much attention.”
"However, if he goes missing for too long, it will naturally attract the attention of the upper echelons of Taiyi Palace. At that time, they would definitely send people down to investigate in detail. "With Qin Chengjiao obstructing us, they should be able to find out about us very soon.”
"At that time, it won't be too difficult to find out the truth with Taiyi Palace's methods.”
After hearing these words, Zhao Gao felt that it made sense.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" he asked immediately. Could it be that there was no way to completely resolve this matter?”
"That's not it!" Qin Zheng lightly smiled." There are naturally ways to resolve it. However, man plans, God disposes. I can't predict whether it can be resolved absolutely.”
Hearing this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel impressed.
In such a situation, his young master could actually think of a way and was still as calm as ever. It was really extraordinary.
"Young Master, what is your solution?”
"This matter is not difficult, but it is not easy." Even with Qin Chengjiao's testimony, it was just a one-sided story. They did not have any concrete evidence.”
"The only thing I'm worried about is that the higher-ups of Taiyi Palace will forcefully capture my servants and subordinates and search their souls. As long as this soul search is done, the truth will be revealed, and we will have nothing to defend ourselves against!”
These words made Zhao Gao's expression turn ugly.
Qin Zheng continued," However, the Soul Searching Art is a forbidden art. The person whose soul is searched will definitely become a fool. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Supreme One Palace will not easily use this art.
"Then the key question comes. With my current status and situation in the royal family, I've already been sidelined. That's why the higher-ups of Taiyi Palace dare to attack my subordinates. Even if one or two of them became stupid, they wouldn't be afraid.”
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's forehead began to break out in cold sweat. He could already feel the danger of the situation.
"Therefore, tomorrow's Martial Arts Competition is the first step to resolve the crisis." If I shine in the martial arts competition, I will definitely be valued by the royal family, and my identity and status will also greatly increase.”
"At that time, there will be the protection of the royal family. Taiyi Palace doesn't dare to touch my people easily. At the very least, they would not dare to act rashly without obtaining substantial evidence. Then, the truth would not be exposed.”
